Decisions in complex systems rarely have a single effect. Understanding the interrelationships between people, policy, nature, and technology is the key to navigating this complexity. My background in System Dynamics modeling stems from my studies in Technology, Policy, and Management at Delft University of Technology. Modeling skills are essential for this, as are specific domain knowledge such as transport and logistics or the Dutch delta policy. At Copernicos, I can directly apply the development of and insights from models in practice.
I contribute to the Asset Dynamics modeling, which is applied to issues within the Royal Netherlands Navy. By converting complex simulations into understandable and powerful reports, clients can gain insight into the diverse impacts resulting from a decision. This includes Life Cycle Management issues and complex cost reporting.
During my graduation project at Copernicos, I’m bringing together the worlds of System Dynamics and Deep Uncertainty. I’m doing this by applying the recently published “Loops That Matter” method to the context of Deep Uncertainty. The need to embrace uncertainty stems not only from missing data or unclear system relationships, but also from conflicting interests between stakeholders. I’m directly applying the developed method to a transition issue at Copernicos. The approach demonstrates that transitions benefit greatly from a comprehensive (numerical) exploration of the question “what happens if…?”
